[UPDATE, 2:20 p.m. : Here's a quick update to our earlier forecast. The forecast is trending south which means the bulk of the snow should miss the region. You should still expect a few snow showers tomorrow morning and a cold wind.]

It's a chilly start to your weekend with temperatures only in the mid-teens. It will warm up under skies that eventually turn cloudy. We will make it to the upper-30s despite those clouds but otherwise a pretty tranquil day for the first half at least.

This evening, snow showers move in and there is a chance of a light accumulation of snow tonight into tomorrow morning. The most likely scenario for our area is about 1-2 inches of snow. That will be just enough to slow down your Sunday morning plans.

However, if you are headed to Cape Cod or the southeast coast area, you likely see more snow, maybe as much as 6 inches. And in full disclosure, some computer models still show MetroWest and Milford getting 5 inches of snow.

What seems certain about tomorrow is the wind returns. So it will feel chilly and there may be damaging winds on the coast. Spring starts next week. Really.
